Kurt Cobain vs. Freddy Krueger; who has the better sweater?

I was a teenager at the peak of the grunge era and loved wearing my flannel like most teenagers at that time. I’ve never been into scary movies ever since seeing “The Entity” at a young age. Therefore, Curt’s sweater wins.

Samuel Bayer is the director of the remake “Nightmare on Elm Street,” which opens on April 30th. However, Bayer is most known for directing one of the greatest music videos of all time, “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” which so happens to be the first video he ever directed.

Samuel Bayer recently sat down with MTV’s Larry Carroll and told of the connection between Kurt’s sweater and Freddy Krueger’s and credited both sweaters for his success:

“I guess sweaters have a lot to do with my success. Whether it was the green-and-yellow sweater of ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ or [Freddy’s] red-and-green sweater.”
